Carolina grew up in an artistic environment which
instilled a desire to experiment different types of
manual work and allowed her to explore countless
materials, textures colors. After graduating in Visual
Arts, she studied advertising and production of
shows, and finalized her studies with a Master’s
Degree in Cultural Management. Since then,
Carolina has maintained this contact with Arts and
Culture, organizing cultural events. At the same
time, always inspired by the artistic sector, her
desire to create grew and she began to explore
the arts of textiles by teaching herself macramé.
Since then, she decided to learn and deepen other
techniques such as tapestry and embroidery that
would allow her to create different pieces and sew
new stiches to an abstract style. Carolina’s creative
methods flows freely and intuitively. Her drawings
and embroideries take place organically on screen.

Lately she has decided to devote herself entirely to
making art. Her love for, knowledge of and feeling
for textile is now expressed in her art work.

relate to each other and to ourselves in the world
and environment we live in. This serves as the
inspiration for her work. She participates in national

Plexiglas panels or welded steel frames covered
with canvas. She builds the artwork in various
layers, incorporating transparent tulle, metal mesh,
or organza silk. This can result in either figurative
or abstract images, such as expressive faces or
graphic shapes. The materials she uses include
acrylic paint and spray, brushes, a scalpel, scissors,
and a sewing machine, as well as hand embroidery
with thick thread.

and exploring new forms of artistic expression. She
